If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit\|Draft:CloudBuy\|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc\|db-afc}}, {{tlc\|db-draft}}, or {{tlc\|db-g13}} code.

Precious

"...a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma... "

Thank you for quality articles about personalities such as Sid Luckman and Félix Houphouët-Boigny, for work for project Living people when it was active, for quoting "...a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma... ", for support and the perfect solution, - enigmaticmaman, repeating from 10 years ago: you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2240 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Awesome
Ten years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda. I imagine I'm one of the few 2009 recipients still here. Enigma 15:40, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Well, not so few, - I joined 2009, DYK? I normally look up if someone found precious 10 years ago (mostly by Rlevse) is still active and deserves a refreshed award. For you, it was the opposite: I noticed you on Floq's page, and thought "precious!", but then saw your entry and waited a bit ;) - Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:45, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

:-) Enigma 16:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

We'll wait for your return. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm sad to see you leave Misplaced Pages

I hope that your retirement isn't permanent, and that you decide to return to Misplaced Pages (whenever that may be). I'll miss you a lot, and I hope to hear from you in the future someday when you make your return. Should I never hear from you again, please know that I wish you well and I wish you a life of happiness and well-being. It was a pleasure to know you and work with you here, and I am sad to see you go...... ~Oshwah~ 17:34, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

I am not happy. Things are getting worse and worse on Misplaced Pages. Enigma 20:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Just to add my sadness about your retirement...and my thanks for your input at RFPP. Take care. Lectonar (talk) 10:12, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:CloudBuy

Hello, Enigmaman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "CloudBuy".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Misplaced Pages! CASSIOPEIA 10:39, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

You got it deleted before the message even appeared for me, so this is not a helpful message. You could've notified me first. Enigma 20:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Pranav Pandya

This title is salted. Can you unprotect to allow promotion of draft into mainspace? Draft:Pranav Pandya (Gujarati poet) is a different topic. It is well cited. I have checked for notability.

Enigmaman is inactive. Hey Eddie891 Can you help with this ? --Gazal world (talk) 15:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Nizil Shah, I have un-salted so the draft can be mainspaced as it's clearly not an A7 candidate. The new article may of course still be tagged if it is not notable, I have not closely reviewed the case. Thanks for the ping, Gaza world. Cheers, Eddie891 _Work 15:45, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I see you are the closer for Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Element Fresh.
